Essential oils discussed at ASD in the Darke
GREENVILLE - ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) in the Darke will meet
Wednesday, Sept. 24, at 6 p.m. at the Greenville Public Library. The
meetings are held the fourth Wednesday of each month in the third floor
community room at GPL.
This month the group will be learning about how to use essential oils
to help calm and soothe children on the spectrum, as well as children
with other medical and behavioral issues. Even if parents don't have
children on the spectrum, they can come and learn more from Jenni
Smith, occupational therapist, and Jan Teaford, who makes all natural
soaps and cleaners using essential oils for health benefits.
This group was created by local mothers in response to the lack of a
support system for Autism Spectrum Disorder in Darke County. The hope
is that the group can be a resource and support group for other
parents, caregivers and loved ones of those who have been diagnosed as
being on the autism spectrum. Parents/caregivers who suspect ASD, but
who have not gotten a diagnosis yet, are welcome to attend as well. The
group is not limited to parents/loved ones of ASD children, parents of
any special needs children are welcome to attend if they think the
topic will be relevant.
ASD in the Darke wants to know what parents want to learn more about;
what topics will be helpful, and what activities parents/caregivers
might want to see brought to the area for ASD children and young adults.
